APOCALYPSE ONLINE: I Became Over Powered Thanks To My Clones

Alice received an invitation from her friend Vanessa to join a new open-world VRMMO. Despite Alice's inclination to laziness, Vanessa's insistence compelled her to participate. "Hey, there's a skill that lets me create clones of myself," Alice mused, her interest piqued. "I absolutely need to get my hands on this skill." With a mischievous laugh, she contemplated the possibilities of having free helpers through her clones. *[Ding! Your Clone has practiced [Sword Arts] while you were offline. You've gained 1,231 experience points in your [Sword Arts] skill.]* *[Ding! Your Clone has been busy chopping down 2,567 trees and gathering 4,152 pieces of wood during your offline time. Your [Wood Chopping] skill has gained 5,321 experience points.]* *[Ding! Your Clone has successfully defeated 100 level 1 Slimes, granting you 100 EXP.]* While other players grappled with the challenges of surviving in the game's apocalyptic setting, Alice's clones industriously farmed resources in the nearby vicinity. "Hmm... What an intriguing game!" she thought, recognizing the unique advantage her clones provided. ==========================

Volume 1 Chapter 5: End Of Configuration Part 1/2

Having observed numerous skills without understanding the Skill Selection process, I opted to communicate with the AI using mental thoughts instead of speaking aloud, as talking to the air felt embarrassing. This way, I could ask without verbalizing my queries, which was a relief.

Alice mentally asked the A.I.

Alice: 'Can you tell me more about the Skill selection?'

[Please wait for a moment.]

After hearing the A.I's voice, I go back to the [Racial Skills] page while waiting for the A.I's reply.

[Skill selection is part of the configuration, and you have 10 skill points to allocate to any skill you want. Since you created this account with a premium character creation card, you have access to the [Unique Skills] page and will receive an additional 10 skill points, totaling 20 skill points.]

After hearing the explanation from the A.I, I felt that the premium character creation card given by Vanessa was much more valuable than I thought.

At first, I thought the premium character creation card would only allow me to choose an inhuman form and customize my appearance, such as hairstyle, hair color, and so on. However, when the A.I mentioned that it also grants access to the [Unique Skills] page and provides more than the initial 10 starting skill points, unlike the basic version which only allows purchasing some of the available vampire racial skills, leaving me with 0 skill points for other skills, I realized its true value.

Alice: "Sigh~~~ Vanessa sure gave me something valuable, even though she just handed it to me as if it were worthless, judging by her tone of writing. Sigh~~~ I'll just treat her to lunch tomorrow."

So I opened the skill selection menu and directly went to the [Racial Skills] page.

After purchasing all the available skills on the [Racial Skills] page, they all turned greyed out. I switched to the [Unique Skills] page while checking the skill selection. There, I stumbled upon an interestingly named skill, and I decided to buy it. If the skill is exactly what I'm thinking, it will be a great help for my tendency to be lazy.

[Ding! Are you sure you want to purchase [Clone] for 5 Skill Points?]

[Yes]

[No]

[-5 Skill Points]

[Ding You have successfully purchased the [Unique Skill] [Clone] for 5 Skill points]

[Remaining Skill point 2]

Alice: "Sigh~~~"

Initially, I thought that having 20 skill points would allow me to purchase numerous skills that caught my interest. However, now I'm left with only 2 skill points. I can either buy 2 skills, each costing 1 point, or invest in a single powerful skill that costs 2 points. I prefer purchasing 2 skills that will prove useful in the long run rather than a powerful skill that I might struggle to utilize effectively. In novels, powerful skills often demand more fuel or mana for usage, which I will be lacking at the beginning.
